Where is Fritzl incarcerated?

I know the article says he is incarcerated at Garsten Abbey, but I've also seen articles saying he is imprisoned at Krems-Stein prison, if anyone knows, which one is he incarcerated in? 205.175.219.198 (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rosemarie had been unaware of what had been happening to Elisabeth

Where is this cited? I’ve read evidence to imply the contrary. I think this should be taken out if unsourced or truly inconclusive. Alex1inferno (talk) 00:41, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's sourced here in Elisabeth's own words: "Rosemarie is unaware of the truth, Elisabeth later tells police." This source is already in that section of the article. Lard Almighty (talk) 07:28, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Locking his own mother away

The sources cited to back up that Fritzl locked his own mother away are transcripts of police interviews. Fritzl himself later recanted this confession. B.mcdonnell1 (talk) 14:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source for him recanting this? Lard Almighty (talk) 14:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced content

"Elisabeth recounted that Fritzl raped her and forced her to watch pornography videos, which he made her re-enact with him in front of her children in order to humiliate her." is not sourced
